How much would it help, if any, with this specific 'test', or with

>> Host 1: RAID-6 (7200 RPM Drives, 18+1 hot spare)

remake the fs on the above device with 'sw=16' or remount with 
appropriate sunit and swidth values?

>> Host 2: RAID-6 (7200 RPM Drives, 12)

remake the fs on the above device with 'sw=10' or remount with 
appropriate sunit and swidth values?
